ESPECIAL TO THE SENTINEL
with Cotton Handlers.

New ORLEANS, March 25.-The diff
Guilty between the different branches
of labor employed in handling cotton,
involving ten thousand men, had the
effect of parlyzing all work in the cot
ton trade Yesterday. The difficulty |
dates back to last October, and is the
outcome OF an effort then made to re-
duce the charges on cotton at this
point. At that time all the cotton
handlers, both white and colored, in
including employers, belonged to one
Union. The white men withdrew and
formed a new Union, excluding the
employers. The colored men remained
in the old organization. Yesterday
the new organization decided not toI
handle any cotton which passed
through the hands of any members OF
the old organization. Yesterday MORN
ing all the presses where members OF
the old Council were employed was
stopped, as the weighers, samplers,
and classers refused to touch cotton
not handled or drayed by members OF
the old organization. In other presses,
where only the members of the new
Council were employed, work went on
as usual, but cotton could not be
slowed On shipboard, as it had to pass
through the hands of 'longshoremen,
who belong to the old Council, and the
screw men, members of the new
Council, would not receive it from
them. Serious trouble is feared.

A Family in n PerilOus Condition.
BISMARCK, March 25.-It was learned
yesterday that J. M. Kennedy, his
wife and three children are held on
Sibley Island by the flood, and for six
days have been living on such food as
they have taken from the water.
There is no hope of rescuing them un-
til the flood subsidies, and their friends
are distracted. They can be seen
through field glasses, occupying a nest
built in the limbs of trees, over three
miles from shore.
The Nortern Pacific managers have
abandoned the hope Of removing the
gorge by dynamite, and cannot say
when they will be able to ship freight
across the river. The passengers are
being transferred by boat. A party of
twelve, attempting to cross from Man
dan in a boat Wednesday evening,
were driven by the wind and ice into a
willow thicket, and passed the night
there, momentarily expecting death.
Attempted Lynching.
CHAMBERsBURG, March %. = The
town was thrown into an excitement
over the attempted lynching last night,
which was not known until to-day.
Frank Guyer, a painter, it is alleged,
had forsaken his wife and children
and taken up his residence with
another woman. Last night a man
called him out, and instantly a crowd
of masked men surrounded him and
commenced beating him. After pound
ing him they asked him to promise to
return to his wife. He refused, when
they informed him they would tar and
feather him and hang him from the
railroad bridge. They started in that
direction with him. Guyer fought
hard. Finally he succeeded in max
ing his escape, seriously injured, to a
house. There is no clue to the perpe-
traitors of the deed.
